Better still arrange a skype call: our skype id is fraktureoffice.

Background
Since its formation in 1998 The Frakture Big Band has become an
important part of Liverpool's musical life, acting as a conduit for
musical exchanges, a meeting point for musical experimenters and a
living laboratory for the experimental minded.

Frakture's starting point is free improvisation and thus it is so with
the Frakture Big Band however from time to time it has turned its
attention to compositions and other strategies too. The Frakture Big
Band has worked with Maggie Nicols, Evan Parker, Phil Hargreaves
projects: Disslocation Sermons & Chaos Concerto, Carlos Zingaro; Simon
H Fell; Veryan Weston & Caroline Kraable, Eddie Prevost, Damo Suzuki.


The Frakture Big Band currently "re-invents" itself, its personnel
specifically for each project and is curated or managed by Phil Morton
Simon Jones, & Adam Webster of Frakture.
